Houston Astros SP Doug Fister surrendered three runs on five hits in five innings against the Seattle Mariners on Friday, July 15, to earn his ninth win of the season. He had lost each of his three previous outings.

Fantasy Tip: Fister was strong early but struggled in the fifth and was removed after throwing 96 pitches, so clearly he wasn't at his best. Still, it was enough to get the veteran back in the win column after an 8-3 start gave way to a 0-3 stretch. Fister is a middling option in standard leagues.

With the way he's going right now, Fister is worth starting in all formats.
